Know before you buy
These keycaps feature a standard cross-shaped stem mount, making them compatible with all Cherry MX switches and most MX-style mechanical switches from brands like Gateron, Kailh, and Durock.
The PBTfans Nano set is specifically designed for standard ANSI layouts. If your keyboard uses non-standard bottom row sizes or an unusual layout, you may experience compatibility issues with certain modifier keys.
The Cherry profile is widely considered the industry standard for mechanical keyboards. It features a sculpted, ergonomic shape that is slightly shorter than the OEM profile, providing a comfortable typing angle that reduces finger fatigue during extended use.
No, the legends are created using an advanced dye-sublimation process. This technique infuses the ink directly into the PBT plastic, ensuring the characters remain crisp and fade-resistant even after years of heavy use.
These keycaps feature a matte finish, which provides a subtle, dry texture. This finish is designed to resist the shine that often develops on ABS keycaps over time, maintaining a clean look and consistent grip.
